No person shall advertise fireworks in the city or cause such advertisements to be made. This prohibition applies to all advertising of fireworks within the city, regardless of where such fireworks are sold or offered for sale, and regardless of whether the sale itself is legal under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be fined not less than $200.00 nor more than $500.00 for each offense. Each day that a violation of this section continues shall be considered a separate and distinct offense.
